16. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT VITALITY 50 CHARGING VOLTAGE INSPECTION Make sure the battery is in good condition before performing this test. Start the engine and warm it up to operating temperature; stop the engine. Connect the multimeter between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. To prevent a short, make absolutely certain which are the positive and negative terminals or cable. With the headlight on high beam, restart the engine. Measure the voltage on the multimeter when the engine runs at 8000 rpm Charging Limit Voltage: 14.50.5V/8000rpm If the limit voltage is not within the specified range, check the regulator/ rectifier. A.C. GENERATOR (CHARGING COIL) INSPECTION Inspect with the engine installed. Remove the met-in box and center cover. ( 13-5) Disconnect the A.C. generator connector. Measure the resistances between the charging coil terminals (white ground) and lighting coil terminals (yellow ground). Resistance (2-Stroke): A.C. Generator Connector Charging coil white ground 0.21.2 Lighting coil yellow ground 0.31.0 Refer to 8 section for A.C. generator removal. 16-8
